HEEL FOR SHOES Filed July- 9, 1954 INVENTOR ATTORNEY Patented Dec. 1, 1936 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE HEEL FOR SHOES Adam Hannabach, Pittsburgh, Pa. Application July 9, 1934, Serial No. 734,375

1 Claim.

Figure 1 is a bottom plan view of a heel embodying the invention.

Figure 2 is a side elevation of the same.

Figure 3 is an end elevation.

The heel is of the usual general outline to conform to the shape of the heel end of the shoe or the leather lifts thereon and has the usual concaved attaching face 35 whose peripheral edges lie in one plane. The heel is thickened at its rear and partially along one of its sides to form a ridge 32 that has a fiat tread surface. The heel diagonally'opposite the ridge 32 is formed with a tread portion which projects forwardly from the breast of the heel to form a flat, horse-shoe shaped tread surface 35 that is flush with the tread surface of the ridge 32. The sides of the heel between said ridge 32 and said projection 35, and

between said ridge and the breast surface 36, have depending portions 34 formed thereon, the tread surfaces of which are adjacent to the edge of the heel and lie in one flat plane inwardly of said ridge 32 and said projection 35 thereto by sloping portions 33.

It is believed the construction and advantages of the improvement will be understood and appreciated when the foregoing description is read in connection with the accompanying drawing. 10

Having described my invention, what I claim is: A rubber heel having a concave attaching face whose perimetrical edges lie in one plane, said heel being thickened at its rear and partially along one side to form a ridge having a flat tread 15 surface; and which heel at its forward end diagonally opposite said ridge has a tread portion projecting forwardly from the breast of the heel to form a flat horse-shoe shaped tread surface flush with the tread surface of the ridge, the

sides of the heel between said ridge and said projection, and between said ridge and the breast surface having depending portions formed thereon, the tread surfaces of which are adjacent the edge of the heel and lie in one flat plane spaced 25 inwardly of the tread surfaces of said ridge and projection and joined to them by short sloping portions. v

ADAM HANNABACH.
